- Point and Interval Estimation
- Overview of Point Estimation NewWhen a parameter is being estimated, the estimate can be either a single number or it can be a range of scores. When the estimate is a single number, the estimate is called a "point estimate"; when the estimate is a range of scores, the estimate is called an interval estimate. Confidence intervals are used for interval estimates.
